Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
基顿和maggieQ居然还挺有火花，但是全被狗屎剧情发展给掐没了
上床那段剧情太扯了.然后最后那段说教是不是想致敬低俗小说，可惜人还是那个人，已是特别啰嗦
故事交待不清楚，说不清什么动机，假死理由也有点牵强，睡觉的戏实在没必要，而且也什么都没露，对，连腿都没露，差评，因为是Q粉加一星，动作音效都很棒。片尾留扣子估计续也不会有了，不太让人期待。
6.5分。MAGGIE Q的颜真的很能打啊，这么大岁数了竟然还耐看。说起来Martin Campbell当年动作片经典无数，但如今年老体衰，真的挺唏嘘的。剧本有点烂，平铺直叙，放在如今看缺乏爆点。Michael Keaton也是70岁的人了，竟然还这么帅倒是没想到，他的几场打戏比Q的要好看多了~~果然还是要上力量啊~~~
该片又名:
一星给Q颜值，一星给她组枪展现的聪慧，一星给结局
Maggie Q才是华人动作女星yyds。颜值耐看。但这片是在一无是处，一塌糊涂！
黑老头假死，弄个杀手把脸轰趴就行了?身材皮肤都一样?后面出来的时候就尼玛恶心了。
但凡费点脑子情节剧本改合理些，或者请个靠谱的武指。还能混个三星。
故事非常失望。
我好久没在电影里见到Maggie Q了，没想到四十多岁还依旧能打。不过本片有几处节奏有点疲软，感觉导演还是剪辑对一个动作片的叙事把控欠点火候。最后，mf侠还是那个味儿，蛮有意思。
尼基塔女主过去那么久依然没变样还是那么漂亮，只是这片子真的3星勉为其难...
Maggie keep得好好，可惜Michael Keaton有点不像样。
也许对标《尼基塔》，完成度一般。
动作场面精彩，铺垫到位，不突兀。Samuel Jackson说Richard Wenk写的台词真是再好不过了。剧本唯一的不足是反派人物不够扎实强大，儿子那段戏也显得牵强。但不影响作为商业动作片的娱乐价值。
剧情只能给三颗星，再单独给Maggie Q一颗。
这个破剧本是怎么骗来这么些明星的？诺兰的电影我从来没觉得有多烧脑，但这部真的烧到我了，看到最后一秒我真的很想问一句：“这忙活半天是为了什么呀？”整部电影可以用三个字总结：没必要。
七十多的蝙蝠侠vs四十多的杀手组织王牌女杀手。看完之后只明白了两件事:七十多岁的男人也可以能打，和四十多岁的女人也可以把自己锻炼的身材比以前更好。
李美琪好漂亮，故事血腥、暴力、粗俗，但是人物太多复杂，削弱了原本的故事性，没看太懂。
你总能在动作片中看到塞缪尔杰克逊，一个老不死的杀手，一个抗揍的小强。李美琪美吗，美，但也是被类型片束缚的演员。敢死队能带上李美琪吗？加梅根福克斯算啥？
